What does it cost the school or the coach (or you) to have a recruit visit? The cost is insignificant, especially when 5 guys are already committed and make up the number 2 class in the country.

Honestly, Im not even sure Self wants all these top 3 recruits - a significant chunk are more trouble than they are worth. He wants a mature team, not to copy PayPal Cal's revolving door.

You're right, it's not much of a cost. Although when a guy like Tarc takes 7 visits, you have to think the school is spending quite a bit of time and effort on him. As to what Self wants, he clearly wants top-3 guys because he's recruiting them.

Micah Downs and what was that dude who transferred to Louisville? Him and his dad... what a bunch of pussies. They both would be in the league now, probably. Having had Danny Manning teach them for 4 years... Nah, they'd probably still suck... **** them.

I'm just saying there's all sorts of shit i could be doing! I could watch a movie, play a video game, rub one out, read a book, learn a foreign language, etc.. But i'm still watching the assholes because i love them, and I hate myself

Julius on returning to the court: "It feels good to finally be back,I'm healthy and back on the floor with my team. Knowing I have the ability to finish out the season with my team is great. It's really good. I was a little rusty. I'm just working myself back into a rhythm and getting used to playing again. As far as my conditioning goes, I felt good."

Kansas visit: "It was great," Randle said of his Kansas visit. "I've always known a lot about Kansas. It was like my fourth time up there, but I feel like I know a lot more now. I really got to see everything that goes into the program," Randle said. "Like when they get a big-time player, everything that goes into developing that player on the court, in the weight room, it's top notch for real."

How Self feels Randle fits: "He thinks that I fit their system as far as players they've had in the past," Randle said. "The spots he put them in at around 15 feet or catching in the post or isolated on the side, he thinks I can excel in all those areas. He feels what I can do differently than any other player that he has had is get the ball off the glass and bring it up. If I don't get the rebound, he feels I should be the first person up the floor and get to my sweet spot. As long as I defend and rebound, he'll let me play with as much freedom as I want."

Whats Next: Randle will meet with those closest to him -- his mother, Carolyn, and mentor/coach, Jeff Webster -- to decide what the next step will be so that he can move toward ending his recruitment within the next month. "I'll probably talk to Jeff tomorrow and will probably go to his house, and then my mom will be over there," Randle said. "We'll talk about things and look to make a date for a decision. I think between now and the middle of March, when my season and spring break is over, I'll want to get it done. I can't say that I'm sad I've had my last visit; I'm ready to get this done."

Final Notes: "I think I've got pretty good information in terms of what I'm looking for," Randle said. "I know the pros and cons of every school, and I think they've all done a good job of selling themselves to me. Now I have to look at where I'll have the most fun, where I'll be happiest.

"I know that if I'm happy I'll play my best. Even if I'm struggling, being happy makes it easier to get through any adversity."
